    Our Family of motors.......

    Firstly would like to Say Hi to everyone. came across this site from someone posting on the RGV250 web site.

    anyway the family consists off....

    The GT4.... with Blitz filter, Mongoose S/S and 17" monza's



    The 2nd is my wifes MG Metro turbo... K&N Filter, Dump Valve and 2.5" straight through Side exit exhaust




    The 3rd is RGV250,



    and the 4th is a K Series Metro with a 1.6lt engine running 100BHP NOS (about 225bhp including the NOS ) but this is in the body shop having loads of modifications done as we speak...... pictures to follow soon.

    Anyway thats the family..... lol

    hope you all enjoy

    Hello & Welcome!

    Nice selection, I've always wanted a metro turbo - mainly so I can put the engine in a mini How relaible is it as I have heard varying accounts (some good, some bad).

      The GT4 looks nice with those wheels on it,and the RGV looks good in that colour.It looks pretty close to Ford Imperial blue to me

        Hi guys, thanks for your comments......

        the MG Turbo is on its 2nd turbo! the first one was fine, but had come across a hybrid for it!

        anyway fitted this but it wouldn't seal!!! took it off twice yet still would make this really bad noise, we dont think it was the bearings as when we took it all off could see where it was leaking..... anyway gave up on this option, put the old turbo back on to find the oil pressure switch was shagged (after taking it off) so replced it! only to find the idiots gave us a normal metro oil switch! anyway 3 hours later a melted turbo! for some reason the switch didn't cut the fuel pump off like normal. hence a nice glowing turbo thats good for a book end!
        so a new one was needed...... should be fitted this weekend if i can be bothered.

        apart from that the car flys! its only on standard boost.... but is still fast enough! and the flames!!! well who needs a flame kit anyway! lol
